purity of vital wheat gluten

I am just starting out, and looking for a good source for vital wheat gluten for personal and small business uses. I want to be SURE the vital wheat gluten that I purchase does not have MELAMINE in it .. ( the protein enhancer from china that was found in pet food and OUR food that killed or sickened so many). Can anyone help me with some sources?

I've used Bob's Red Mill products for many years and have always been completely satisfied with them. BRM produces vital wheat gluten that I use in my baking. King Arthur Flour probably also has gluten.

thanks for your response. i plan on making bread and breadsticks from the Healthy Bread in 5 minutes cookbook. It calls the vital wheat gluten in their basic recipe. Do you know of a source that is located in the U.S. that For Sure does not add any protein product from china to their vital wheat gluten?

Have you tried your local health food store? I use VWG to make seitan and I get mine from Planet Organic (a health food store). They in fact grind their own wheat; their label indicates nothing but gluten as ingredients.
